VENUS & MARS
Lucid, shining Venus and fiery, red Mars have always been associated with human love and passion.
The two planets have a powerful influence on our attitudes toward love, sex, and relationships.
YOUR LOVE LIFE
The planet Venus represents love, harmony, and unison.
Venus In Gemini:
Those born when both the Sun and Venus occupied Gemini will find that all their typically Geminian qualities are heightened.
Your provocative flirtatiousness will be increased, as will your capacity for duplicity and infidelity, and you may yearn for the thrill of affairs and secret liaisons.
You are quick-witted and lively, with a talent for creating a sense of friendship within your relationship.
However, unless you feel you are on the same intellectual wavelength as your partner, your affair will not last long.
You also need variety and experimentation in your sex life, and any prudishness or excessive conventionality on the part of your lover will prove irritating.
Geminians thrive on flirtation and illicit entanglements, and struggle with the concept of absolute fidelity to one partner.
It is difficult for you to comprehend why people are so censorious about infidelity.
To you, a quick fling is just harmless and unimportant fun, no more than a natural response to a physical urge.
You may find it difficult to understand your partner's pain when you are unfaithful, and may not be very sympathetic to your lover's feelings of betrayal, feeling that he or she is making a fuss about nothing.
You will expect your partner to understand that you love them, and that your physical unfaithfulness poses no real threat to your relationship.
Geminians are vivacious and gregarious.
Eternally popular, your social calendar will be packed full of engagements, and you can be the life and soul of the party.
Quiet evenings in with your partner do not hold much appeal for you, because you are in your element in a social situation.
An insecure partner, or one who is prone to jealousy, may feel threatened by your love of company.
Try to understand that not everyone is as sociable as you are, and that your partner will sometimes demand your sole attention.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication.
You will be eloquent and articulate, and should find it easy to talk things through with your partner.
You have a persuasive manner, and will use all your Geminian ingenuity to wriggle out of a tight corner when taxed with infidelity.
Your lover may occasionally be deceived by your excuses, but in the end you will have to own up to your misdemeanours.
Unless your partner is remarkably easy-going and tolerant, your tendency to play the field will probably have to be subdued if your relationship is to succeed.
YOUR SEX LIFE
The planet Mars represents physical and sexual energy.
Mars In Gemini:
When Mars and the Sun share the same sign, all your Geminian traits will be intensified.
Your charming words and vivacious and witty personality will attract many potential lovers.
You need a varied and exciting sex life, and if your lover does not possess similar levels of sexual energy and desire, your interest will not be held for very long.
Your long-term affairs must be kept alive by plenty of novelty and diversity.
The Geminian tendency towards infidelity will be emphasized by this placing, and you may find it difficult to remain faithful to one partner.
Your Geminian restlessness may lead you into illicit affairs and intrigue.
Be warned - infidelity will almost certainly damage your long-term relationships.
You may try to convince your partner that an occasional fling means nothing to you, but most people will find it very hard to endure your constant unfaithfulness.
TOKENS OF LOVE
Astrology can give you a fascinating insight into your lover's personality and attitude to love.
It can also provide you with some invaluable hints when you want to choose the perfect gift for your lover.
Gemini:
A handsome box of exotic nuts or sugared almonds will be appreciated by a Geminian.

YOUR PERMANENT RELATIONSHIP
Geminians love novelty and change.
To ensure a successful and secure permanent relationship, strong ties of friendship with your partner are essential.
Geminians are characterized by their charm and their seductive flirtatiousness, and their roving eye may cause their partners some problems.
Your high spirits make you a lively companion, and you are likely to be the centre of attention at any gathering.
However, while your flirtatious charm is focused on someone else, your lover may be suffering pangs of jealousy.
To many Geminians, flirting merely represents harmless fun.
However, your lover may not appreciate this, and the sight of your thoughtless philandering may wound them just as much as an all-out affair.
Remember to reassure them of your love, and try to keep your roving eye under control.
Life with a Geminian will never be dull.
You are likely to dislike anything that smacks of the commonplace or ordinary, but remember that for some people security, safety, and routine are important.
Try to understand this and make allowances when your partner pales with horror at the news that you have given up your job in order that you can both cycle around the world.
However, it is not only your lover who needs a measure of serenity and relaxation.
Even you need to enjoy a little peace and quiet from time to time.
Geminians sometimes find it difficult to relax - hopefully your lover will be able to teach you this happy art.
Your ruling planet is Mercury, which encourages good communication, and therefore you will have no difficulty in communicating with your partner.
You will discuss any problems which may arise in your relationship, and if you can persuade your partner to be equally candid, you will resolve any problems through honest discussion.
You are unlikely to make emotional scenes, but your quick tongue can be very scathing.
Try not to speak too hastily, as any sharp words may hurt your partner more than you intended.
Geminians tend to be restless, and common interests are important.
They will keep a relationship alive and flourishing after the initial passion and ardour has died down, and sex has assumed a rather less dominant role.
